The NES, also known as Famicom, launched in 1983 in Japan and 1985 in North America, where the video game industry was headed downhill due to a deluge of poor games and over-saturation.

I feel like there should be a concept in the Giant Bomb wiki for games that use the concepts that caused me problems with Legacy of the Wizard and Mickey Mousecapade - where in order to progress in the game, you basically need to shoot almost randomly until you hit the magic block (or whatever) that lets you progress. Something other than pixelbitching, because it usually involves blocks. "Blockbitching".
